Frequently Asked Questions

New applicants should attend our Open House. On this evening, you should submit an application form and fee (if you have not done so already.) Once we have your application, an observation of the class (adults only) and an interview with your child will be scheduled. When all interviews are complete, the school will send an email to notify you of your child’s status.

We do not keep a traditional wait list. We do keep applications on file and consult these applications in the event of an opening during the school year. Your application will be considered if it meets the age and gender needs of the classroom.

No, applications are only considered for the year of entry.

No. We begin accepting applications on November 15th for the next school year. Placements are based on the observation/interview process; placement is not on a first come, first served basis.

Current parents with children enrolled may observe during our observation months (October & May) or by setting up a time with their child’s Guides. For applying parents, once you have applied online and submitted your application fee, you will be invited to sign up for a classroom observation. After the observation we will arrange an appointment for you and your child to view the school and meet the Guides.
